MALALA YOUSAFZAI (07/12/1997 - )

Malala Yousafzai&nbsp;is a Pakistani&nbsp;actvist&nbsp;for female education&nbsp;and a&nbsp;Nobel Peace Prize&nbsp;laureate. She is known for human rights advocacy, especially the education of woman and children in her native Swat Valley in northwest Pakistan, where the Talibans had at times banned girls from attending school. On 9 October 2012, while on a bus in the Swat District, after taking an exam, Yousafzai and two other girls were shot by a Taliban Pakistan&nbsp;gunman in an assassination attempt in retaliation for her activism; the gunman fled the scene. Yousafzai was hit in the head with a bullet and remained unconscious and in critical condition, but her condition later improved enough for her to be transferred to Birgmingham, UK. The attempt on her life sparked an international outpouring of support for her. Talibans were denounced by governments, human rights organizations and feminist groups. Talibans officials responded to condemnation by further denouncing Yousafzai, indicating plans for a possible second assassination attempt, which they felt was justified as a religious obligation. Their statements resulted in further international condemnation.

After her recovery, Yousafzai became a prominent activist for the&nbsp;right to education. Based in&nbsp;Birmingham, she co-founded the&nbsp;Malala Fud, a non-profit organisation, with&nbsp;Shiza Shahid.&nbsp;In 2013, she co-authored&nbsp;I Am Malala, an international best seller.&nbsp;In 2012, she received Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize and the 2013&nbsp;Sakharov Prize.&nbsp;In 2014, she was the co-recipient of the&nbsp;2014 Nobel Peace Prize, with&nbsp;Kailash Satyarthi&nbsp;of India. Aged 17 at the time, she was the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate.&nbsp;In 2015, she was the subject of the&nbsp;Oscar-shortlisted documentary&nbsp;He Named Me Malala. The 2013, 2014 and 2015 issues of&nbsp;Time&nbsp;magazine featured her as one of&nbsp;the most influential people&nbsp;globally. In 2017 she was awarded&nbsp;honorary Canadian citizenship&nbsp;and became the youngest person to address the&nbsp;House of<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Commons_of_Canada"> </a>Commons of Canada.

FROM THE MAGNA CARTA TO THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS

The constitution is a set of rules that define a country and his principle. The first set of rule constitution-like was Magna Carta. From clauses, 1,9,29 were based on the British, American, and most of European Constitutions. Magna Carta means “Great Charter” and was established during the unfair reign of King Jonh in 1214. King Jonh during his reign accumulated a lot of money from taxes that was used for payment&nbsp;of his rich and expensive life. During Jonh’s rule, he angered the barons who capture London and refused the payment of these taxes who brought King Jonh to bargain and barons forced him to write Magna Carta to limit his power. After the dysentery and death of King Jonh in 1216, the Pope considered invalid the Magna Carta who bring from peasants and barons the burst of the Civil War.

WOMEN IN THE MAGNA CARTA&nbsp;

Most of the Magna Carta had little to do directly with women. The main effects of the Magna Carta on women was to protect widows and wealthy heiresses from arbitrary control of their fortunes by the crown, protect their dow rights for financial support, and protect their right to consent the marriage.&nbsp;

UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS&nbsp;

The Universal Declaration of Humans Rights is a milestone document in the history of human rights. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected, and it has been translated into over 500 languages.&nbsp; - All free men have the right to fair and equal trial by one’s peers Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of his person. &nbsp;- No individual may be held in a state of slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade will be prohibited in any form.

Afghanistan

Afghanistan, officially called the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, is a large landlocked country located in Central Asia.&nbsp;About two-thirds of its land is rugged and mountainous, and much of the country is sparsely populated. During the Cold War the Soviet Union invaded it and installed a communist government.

&nbsp;During its growth in Afghanistan, the Taliban took away many rights from its people and caused tensions around the world after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 because they allowed Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaeda members to remain in the country.In November 2001, after the US military occupation of Afghanistan, the Taliban fell and their official control over Afghanistan ended.

In 1992, Afghanistan was able to overthrow Soviet rule with its mujahideen guerrillas and in the same year established an Islamic Jihad Council to take over Kabul.&nbsp;Soon after, the mujahideen began to have ethnic conflicts.&nbsp;In 1996, the Taliban then began to rise to power in an effort to bring stability to Afghanistan.&nbsp;However, the Taliban imposed a strict Islamic rule on the country, which lasted until 2001.

From August 15, 2021, Afghanistan no longer exists.&nbsp;Now is called the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.&nbsp;The de facto president is Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar.&nbsp;The new Taliban offensive started in May 2021: in a few weeks the Islamic militias conquered the main Afghan cities and finally Kabul.&nbsp;The United States and NATO forces are completing the withdrawal of troops after twenty years of presence in the country, the regular army has disintegrated and the civilian population is trying to flee en masse to the West.&nbsp;It took a few fighting for the Taliban to regain the power they lost in 2001

The Fall of Afghanistan (2021): Every Day

After the Taliban return, in Afghanistan there's the Sharia, that is the radical law, written in the Quran For everybody it's forbidden to: -talk loudly -shave yourselves -drink any alchoolic drink -eat any not halal meat -laugh in public -play chess -watch the tv for fun -going to the cinema or the theatre, for fun (the only allowed shows are public executions).

The regime has banned women from showing their faces on all kinds of media, including advertisements and television; Schools have been closed down for girls, Women are not permitted to move outside their homes without a male consort. Women travelling more than 72km&nbsp;should not be offered a ride if they are not accompanied by a close family member Women must wear burka Women cannot be visited by a male doctor Women cannot wear make up (sometimes, if the police saw their nails with some nailpolish they can cut their finger off) Women cannot do any kind of sport

In the patriarchal Afghan society, poor families, to give the same opportunities to their daughters, like their male friends, try to disguise them as male children. This phenomenon is called bacha posh&nbsp; Pretending to be a man will be able to get an education and go undisturbed on the street. But there is also another, equally important reason why these girls are disguised as boys: they can go to work. "Bacha posh", translated from Dari means "girl dressed like a boy". A very popular choice, which is made for their good in childhood when it is easy to disguise the sex of a child. Generally, since a little age, the girl’s haircut is very short, and her outfit is a male one. This&nbsp; choice could also be a risk for families if the girls were discovered.

Maya Angelou

Marguerite Annie Johnson was an American poet, memoirist, and&nbsp;civil rights activist. She published seven autobiographies, three books of essays, several books of poetry, and is credited with a list of plays, movies, and television shows spanning over 50 years. She became a poet and writer after a string of odd jobs during her young adulthood. These included fry cook,&nbsp;sex worker and

nightclub performer.&nbsp;&nbsp;She was active in the&nbsp;Civil Rights Movement&nbsp;and worked with&nbsp;Martin Luther King Jr.&nbsp;and&nbsp;Malcolm X. She was respected as a spokesperson for Black people and women, and her works have been considered a defense of Black culture. Her works are widely used in schools and universities worldwide, although attempts have been made to ban her books from some U.S. libraries. Angelou's most celebrated works have been labeled as&nbsp;autobiographical fiction, but many critics consider them to be autobiographies. She made a deliberate attempt to challenge the common structure of the autobiography by critiquing, changing and expanding the genre. Her books center on themes including&nbsp;racism, identity, family and travel.

Early career

In 1951, Angelou married Tosh Angelos, a&nbsp;Greek&nbsp;electrician, former sailor, and aspiring musician, despite the condemnation of interracial relationships at the time and the disapproval of her mother. After Angelou's marriage ended in 1954, she danced professionally in clubs around San Francisco, including the nightclub&nbsp;The Purple Onion, where she sang and danced to&nbsp;calypso music.&nbsp;Up to that point, she went by the name of "Marguerite Johnson", or "Rita", but at the strong suggestion of her managers and supporters at The Purple Onion, she changed

her professional name to "Maya Angelou" (her nickname and former married surname). It was a "distinctive name"&nbsp;that set her apart and captured the feel of her&nbsp;calypso&nbsp;dance performances. During 1954 and 1955, Angelou toured Europe with a production of the opera&nbsp;Porgy and Bess. She began her practice of learning the language of every country she visited, and in a few years she gained proficiency in several languages.&nbsp;In 1957, riding on the popularity of calypso, Angelou recorded her first album,&nbsp;Miss Calypso.

Her life in Africa

In 1961, she met South African freedom fighter&nbsp;Vusumzi Make; they never officially married. She and her son Guy moved with Make to&nbsp;Cairo, where Angelou worked as an associate editor at the weekly English-language newspaper&nbsp;The&nbsp;Arab Observer. In 1962, her relationship with Make ended, and she and Guy moved to&nbsp;Accra, Ghana, so he could attend college, but he was seriously injured in an automobile accident. Angelou remained in Accra for his recovery and ended up staying there until 1965. She became an administrator at the&nbsp;University of Ghana, and was active in the African-American expatriate community. In Accra, she became close friends with&nbsp;Malcolm X&nbsp;during his visit in the early 1960s. Angelou returned to the U.S. in 1965 to help him build a new civil rights organization, the&nbsp;Organization of Afro-American Unity; he was assassinated shortly afterward. Devastated and adrift, she joined her brother in Hawaii, where she resumed her singing career.

Maya Angelou's short poem about Africa

Before explaining what happens in the world, let us dwell on some points: -Worldwide, over 250 million women were married before the age of 15; -Every year, 15 million young women and girls are forced to marry; -17% of child brides live in Africa.

The problem of early marriages affects the whole world and cases can also be found in Europe. However, there are two large areas of the planet where this problem manifests itself in its most serious form. Sub-Saharan Africa (especially in countries such as Niger and the Central African Republic, where, respectively, 76% and 68% of women married before the age of 15);

South Asia (especially in countries such as Bangladesh and India, where, respectively, 52% and 47% of women married before the age of 15). There is another aspect to consider. In very many cases, before being forced to marry (almost always with much older men), young girls are brutally kidnapped.

JESSICA NOTARO'S EXPERIENCE

On 10 January 2017, Jessica Notaro's life changed forever when she was attacked in front of her home in Rimini by her ex-partner Edson Tavares, who slashed her face with acid. There were moments of terror, followed by many complicated operations and continuous treatment. But she managed and became the spokesperson for the message 'This is not loving': with her story she wants to help all women who are living the nightmare she lived through.

In 2021, she underwent a delicate facial surgery. "This is a turning point in my life," Jessica wrote in a social post. "You start to work not only on functionality but also on aesthetics: this surgery allows me to finally see myself with the features I had before. The phenomenal Dr. Brunelli has sculpted my face.

Angelou's activism

She later moved back to Los Angeles to focus on her writing career. Working as a market researcher in&nbsp;Watts, Angelou witnessed the&nbsp;riots&nbsp;in the summer of 1965. In 1968,&nbsp;Martin Luther King Jr.&nbsp;asked Angelou to organize a march. She agreed, but he was assassinated on her 40th birthday, devastating her. She wrote, produced, and narrated&nbsp;Blacks, Blues, Black!,&nbsp;a ten-part series of documentaries about the connection between&nbsp;blues&nbsp;music and Black Americans' African heritage, and what Angelou called the "Africanisms still current in the U.S.". In late 2010, Angelou donated her personal papers and career memorabilia to the&nbsp;Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture&nbsp;in&nbsp;Harlem.&nbsp;They consisted of more than 340 boxes of documents that featured her handwritten notes on yellow legal pads for&nbsp;I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, a 1982 telegram from&nbsp;Coretta Scott King, fan mail, and personal and

professional correspondence from colleagues. In 2011, Angelou served as a consultant for the&nbsp;Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial&nbsp;in Washington, D.C. She spoke out in opposition to a paraphrase of a quotation by King that appeared on the memorial, saying, "The quote makes Dr. Martin Luther King look like an arrogant twit", and demanded that it be changed. Eventually, the paraphrase was removed.

Aisha- the story of a child bride

Marriage should be a dream. For her it was a nightmare.

Aisha was still a child when her father, in exchange for money, forced her to marry a man older than her. After Aisha became pregnant she began to feel unwell due to anemia and therefore could not carry on with the housework, which her husband expected. So he threatened her several times to beat her. Now that she has a baby, Aisha feels unable to resume her studies and make up for lost years. However, he hopes to receive professional training so that he can learn a trade and be able to work. She said: "At 13, when I was in primary school, they forced me to marry a man&nbsp;much older than me, 30 years old. I lived with this man for a while but we didn't get along because of the difference. of age. I tried to escape many times, but each time, my father would take me back to him. I had no choice but to accept all of this. After a while I got pregnant, and he tried to beat me. I tried to escape. twice but they always brought me back to him. Then I left him forever. You can't live a life with a man so much older than you, a man you've never met before, one they force you to marry. "

We believe that the rights of every girl must be respected. This is why we work to ensure that every woman knows her rights. We want to build a world where none of them risk their lives because they are women, where no girl is forced to marry and becomes pregnant when she is not yet ready, neither physically nor emotionally, and where none of them suffer violence, abuse, or death just because they were born woman.

Aisha today managed to get a divorce and lives in the suburbs of an urban area in Somalia with her mother, her daughter Rayan and two older brothers. Her home is a makeshift structure made of scrap metal, wooden branches, clothes tied together to create the walls and crumpled aluminum sheets as a roof.

In 1981 she returned to the southern United States because she felt she had to come to terms with her past there and, despite having no bachelor's degree, accepted the lifetime Reynolds Professorship of&nbsp;American Studies&nbsp;at&nbsp;Wake Forest University&nbsp;in&nbsp;Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where she was one of a few full-time African-American professors. From that point on, she considered herself "a teacher who writes".&nbsp;Angelou taught a variety

of subjects that reflected her interests, including philosophy, ethics, theology, science, theater, and writing.&nbsp;in 1996, she collaborated with&nbsp;R&amp;B&nbsp;artists&nbsp;Ashford &amp; Simpson&nbsp;on seven of the eleven tracks of their album&nbsp;Been Found. The album was responsible for three of Angelou's only&nbsp;Billboard&nbsp;chart&nbsp;appearances. Angelou campaigned for the&nbsp;Democratic Party&nbsp;in the 2008 presidential primaries, giving her public support to&nbsp;Hillary Clinton. The Clinton campaign ran ads featuring Angelou's endorsement that were part of the campaign's efforts to rally support in the Black community;&nbsp;but when&nbsp;Barack Obama&nbsp;won the South Carolina primary, Angelou put her support behind Obama, who went on to win&nbsp;the presidential election&nbsp;and become the first African-American president of the United States. Angelou died on the morning of May 28, 2014, at the age 86. Although Angelou had reportedly been in poor health she was working on another book about her experiences with national and world leaders.

Stand, gentlemen, whenever she caresses your hand, everytime she dries your tears, as if you were one of her children, and when she waits, even if she wants to run.

Stand, and remain standing, my friends, when she enters the room singing of love, and when she hides her pain and loneliness while having the terrible need to be loved. Do not try to stretch your hand to help when she collapses under the weight of the world, she does not need your pity. She needs you to sit on the ground with her and wait for the beat of her heart to slow down and her fear to disappear, and the world to continue to turn quietly.
